Hey Andrew!

That might work.  All I know is that everytime a young person comes over to my place it is to get their device(s) to connect to the wifi.  Once that happens they lose interest in what I do although they are totally amazed that whatever I am typing at the keyboard seems to get amazing things to happen.  They always ask me how I know what to type to make whatever they see going on - usually on the monitor - happen.  It is then I show them a commandline to play a movie which totally floors them.  I have a trailer with lego characters doing the "Knights of The Round Table" song and dance from Monty Python's "Search For The Huly Grail" on hand for such occasions.

 AA> The copyright info in the source indicates 1996.

That sounds about right.  It has been awhile and I am at the age where senior's moments are noticeably on the increase.  :-/

 AA> just me shamelessly advertising a little.

That works for me.  Glad to be of service.

 AA> Are you working on any interesting projects these days, Maurice?

Not really at the moment.  I was working on getting the two wifi access points up to speed but everyone concerned seems happiest when I leave well enough alone.  I was hoping to get a mesh network going but there is a lack of individuals up to the task so I've put that on the back burner and I suspect it'll eventually get abandoned.  Too bad since I see some fun to be had there.

Life is good,
Maurice
